Here is a sunset that was taken by Ken on our prospecting trip.

Great pic TWA!! Thanks for sharing it.

Some more pics of the Stuart Desert Pea

And another desert pea pic

Here is one of the pigface flower that abounds in the area also.

Here is one of a juvenile Bungarra.

Here is one of Hazel and I chaining a section of Noels lease at RedCastle.

Here is a closer up pic of rock caves not far from the old patch at Freemans Find

Here is a pic of an old miners shack 2 klms west of Redcastle itself.

This Picture is of the Redcastle Cave. There is a story about the first prospectors to arrive in this area found nuggets strewn all over the suface just below this cave.
And as the story goes they hung a blanket over the entrance to this cave so that other miners couldnt see there camp fire at night thus not giving away the location of where they were finding nuggets on the surface.

When I get my books back I will edit this page and insert the story.

Here is one of an old furnace at Yundermindra.

Under metal detecting topic Lorna Glen Station was mentioned so here is a pic of the Lorna Glen Homestead, 243,000 hectares

This Station is now managed by the Dept of Conservation and Land Management as a environmental field station. ( lets hope they never prevent detecting here in the future). Fingers crossed.

In this pic it shows some old diggings near Mt Weld just out of Laverton in Western Australia

:( I thought I might just add this pic as its the one of Noels camp out at Redcastle.
This is where we found most of the gold for 2004.

Please add some pic's of the gold you found ;) ;)

Ok Prospector_41 Here is a pic of Hazel holding a few nuggets in her hand.

For more pics of Gold check out Australian Gold under the Metal Detecting section.

Cheers. TWA

Here are a few photographs of some graves that have been long forgotten except for a few passing by that would follow up a disused track at Burtville just out of Laverton.

Looking at these graves I couldnt help thinking, if they werent chasing the elusive yellow stuff would they have survived.

The hardships that they had to endure back then would surely test the best of us today.

And for the second one.

Its a shame that these grave could not be better cared for, as these men, women and children were the trail blazers in the early days of the goldrush to this area.

May they rest in peace.

I thought I would include a picture of an old Pipe that was made by K&P Peterson, this and a braces clip in the shape of a snake was found at Yundermindra diggings
